bad books – you're a mirror i cannot avoid

ps i knew eventually you would disappear. just come back & peel away the mask. turn back to the person that you tried to let die...

i caught you caroling and giving griefthought you were cannonballing after mei let your actions speak for themselvesand wished you well

but you're a mirror i cannot voidstrung out and jittery and paranoida leaky battery that cant keep chargedget in the car and say what you meanexplain yourself to me and i'll try not to judge you more than you would

let me help, i promise not to telllike anyones asking or anyone should

first time i met you i was full of fearknew that eventually youd disappearjust when i needed you youd burn to smokeand off you go

just come back and peel away the messlay here beside me and open your eyestake it back your dignity your tactturn back to the person you tried to let die

i caught you nesting with your analogglassy eyes from kissing poison frogsbecoming infinite against his couch

open your mouth and say the wordsyou used to wish you heardback when you focused enough to be good

and if youre gonean endless false alarmjust remember i loved youas long as i could
